Dance- it's my first love! Ballet, tap, jazz, modern, pointe, lyrical... Dance occupies all my time. Because I was born and raised in the dance school, creative expression is all I know. My entire family is involved at McClendon School of Dance: My mom, Denise, who started the dance school, is the Artistic Director; my dad Kip, who quit his full time job to support my mother's dream, is the Executive Director and the Program Manager of the KTM Performing Arts Foundation; my oldest sister Jai teaches ballet, jazz, and modern and shares the role of Assistant Artistic Director with me; I teach tap and carry the role of Rehearsal Mistress; and my brother Tre teaches Tap and tutors the kids in Math. McClendon School of Dance is inherently a part of me that I will live and die with! I LOVE ELMO!!!...
My mother taught me that you can learn something from everybody... So I'd like to meet everyone! ...Except the crazy serial killers! :o)

My parents, Kip & Denise McClendon. It warms my heart to see real committment, real love in action that is deeply rooted in the Word of God! They have been married for over 30 years and they support each other to the nth degree. I can only hope and pray to experience that same type of love and commitment in my lifetime!
